# `openclaw config`
Config helpers: get/set/unset values by path. Run without a subcommand to open
the configure wizard (same as `openclaw configure`).
## Examples
```bash
openclaw config get browser.executablePath
openclaw config set browser.executablePath "/usr/bin/google-chrome"
openclaw config set agents.defaults.heartbeat.every "2h"
openclaw config set agents.list[0].tools.exec.node "node-id-or-name"
openclaw config unset tools.web.search.apiKey
```
## Paths
Paths use dot or bracket notation:
```bash
openclaw config get agents.defaults.workspace
openclaw config get agents.list[0].id
```
Use the agent list index to target a specific agent:
```bash
openclaw config get agents.list
openclaw config set agents.list[1].tools.exec.node "node-id-or-name"
```
## Values
Values are parsed as JSON5 when possible; otherwise they are treated as strings.
Use `--json` to require JSON5 parsing.
```bash
openclaw config set agents.defaults.heartbeat.every "0m"
openclaw config set gateway.port 19001 --json
openclaw config set channels.whatsapp.groups '["*"]' --json
```
Restart the gateway after edits.
